Halloween

Truck or treating (my beautiful cowgirl daughter)
This one was for Ryan and Nick....it was the only thing we had to put on Max. Not to worry he only wore it for the picture.
Pumpkin Carving
Made it through one more Halloween. YEAH!!!

Picture Session with the Tolmans

A few weekends ago we took the kids to get some pictures of them..here are a few from the session. We went to mom and dad's house...they have a beautiful pond and island.
OK so Cailah was quite the poser for the picture..turning with those eyes and tushy sticking out. I tried, obviously she does it much better than me. :O)
Trust me she had her tushy sticking out. I'm not sure why Al decided to get mine in the picture and not Cailahs....her's was a lot cuter. :O)

Alyssa 9th Grade

When I first saw this I was slightly disturbed because to me she looked too old to be my daughter....it happened so fast.

Another Greenbelt Walk

Last Sunday we went for a walk on the greenbelt again. I love it, it is just nice a relaxing and someone peaceful except for the part when Alyson went screaming and running across the bridge....she's crazy!!! To bad I didn't capture that on film. Here's some that I did although my camera didn't seem to want to focus much.

Dad's B-Day

We got to have dad here for his b-day this year. Here are a few pics. I feel an explanation of the tie is in order. Abby made that for him for fathers day and so he wore it for his party...it rocked.

Visit to Oregon - Eagle Creek Hike

We made a quick trip to Oregon and had a lot of fun despite my bad attitude at the beginning. It was kind of hard to go but glad I did. Here are a few shots from our hike at Eagle Creek...still love it!! I'll get some more up later.

Day 3 - Magic Kingdom

I give up. I tired to get these uploaded in the right order but they are driving me crazy so just enjoy the chaos.

Here we are getting ready to enter another 3D movie. They were great....they involved all the senses, touch, smell, sight, and sound...I think they were Alyssa's favorites.

Swiss Family Tree House...I still think it would be fun to live in that house.

Disney's electrical parade. This was very fun. The music made me want to dance.

Day 3 of the trip Day 2 of the amusement parks. We are off to the Magic Kingdom

I'm pretty sure we were pirates in these pictures. Hard to say we were a lot of things this trip. :O)

It truly was a magical place. Very fun and entertaining. The best part I think of the firewords display at the end. I love when they put firewords to music. Plus they had the fairies from sleeping beauty talking, captain Hook, and at the end Tinker Bell came flying out of the top window of the castle. We actually watched this show three different nights from different areas in the park.

Day 1 Continues

As we drive up to the resort we are stopped by a police road block, guns drawn. Where did mom and dad send us? Luckily there was another enterance and we are not scared of a little gun fire, we are on vacation and will not be deterred.

Breakfast is never free......there is always a catch. So after sitting through a sales pitch we were off. Yes we managed to say NO!!!

Florida Vacation

The internet here is terrible but as I am sitting here on my last day of vacation I thought I'd try and get some pictures of from our trip.

Breakfast at Waffle House (we went even after the warning not to go from Clifton) after arriving in Florida at 5:30 in the morning...not too shabby for pulling a all nighter.

First stop after picking up Jaime was Krispy Kreme (I probably spelled that wrong :O) ) Rule #1 of Diana's vacation tips. If you see it and you want it or want to do it then you need to do it. So as we drive by Krispy Kreme Randy put that rule in effect and quickly pulled over....sad that the hot light wasn't on but that's ok.

Walk-Greenbelt

Apparently I uploaded these pictures and never posted them so they are out of order but here you go.

We love walking on the greenbelt, riding on Grandpa's shoulders when we are tired, or riding a bike as the case may be.
